A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain name as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most widespread use of a TXT record is to add your website to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides info about the traffic to your Internet site. Creating this sort of a record may serve as confirmation that you are the domain name owner and they'll supply the content that you should include as the value when you create the record. Another use of a TXT record is to verify that an email message is sent by the domain address owner and from a reliable server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which prevents any electronic address created under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send out junk e-mail making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You may include any other info that you'd like to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.
